Non-Volatile Memory Behaviour of MFIS Structure with Ba0.7Sr0.3TiO3 Films for Memory Capacitor Application

Article Preview

Abstract:

The growth of strontium doped barium titanate (BST) powder is performed by solid-state reaction. Microstructural characterization by SEM technique confirms the BST film is successfully formed on p-Si (100) substrate by spin coating technique. Dielectric properties of MFIS (Metal/ Ferroelectric/ Insulator/ Semiconductor) designs are measured by impedance analyzer (LCR meter, QuadTech :1730). P-E (polarization-electric field) hysteresis loops are also measured by applying the same triangular wave electric field in order to allow their application in NVFeRAM (Non-Volatile Ferroelectric Random Access Memory). The maximum remanent polarization density (Pr=38.6µC/cm2) is found at BST film 600°C. The film exhibits the potential to be a future promising memory. The results obtained from this research are quite interesting, acceptable, credible and applicable in use for NVFeRAM.
